Hi,
I'm not writing for people to feel sorry for but because i really want to change.
I'll be off to college after this summer and I'd like some advice on self improvement. Basically, Although I was top of the class most of the time, I felt that i wasted alot of time in high school and i dont want to do the same in college.
A little about me:
I went to highschool where smart kids got a really hard time. I was a blackbelt so no one really bullied me but I was evident (I've overheard alot of back talking) that most guys dont want to associate with you most just cause of your grades (not everyone but most people). I was difficult to make friends so my social skills are bit lacking.
I'm not totally inexperienced with women; I've dated people but relationships just didn't last very long probably because I didn't really know how to communicate. I am lucky to be reasonably attractive, but still getting girls (which i tried very infrequently) was still very difficult due to shyness.
For four years, my day routines were the same: school, go home study, occasional b-ball game with neighbours and maybe an afterschool club or too and then sleep. I kinda feels like a waste of four years and i want to change.
Has anyone been through the same thing? I just find (as it was really difficult to make friends) that my social skills are lacking and it can be depressing at time. I don't want to waste another four years of life.
Anyone have any suggestions on the first steps to change (please be a bit specific...eg. Changing attitude i already know)
